BWH Bulletin's year-end issue is a time to reflect on BWHers' proudest moments from the past year. We asked you to share one BWH-related memory from 2013 that was meaningful to you, and you generously offered stories about colleagues, patients, families, events and milestones that continue to inspire you. We hope you enjoy reading these moments.

Lending a Hand to Our Neighbors

The staff here at Brookside wanted to find a way to give
back as part of the Thanksgiving and Hanukkah holidays. On their own time, they
explored volunteer opportunities and selected the Shattuck Shelter in Jamaica
Plain (now part of Pine Street Inn) as their organization of choice. They
visited the shelter on the Monday of Thanksgiving week and served dinner to its
residents. I couldn't be more proud of their kindness, generosity and
thoughtfulness during what is traditionally a busy time for everyone.
